The past 3 weeks I also have been doing 60 minute work outs 5 days a week. Mostly it's walking mixed with a pregnancy video. The 3rd trimester video is so relaxing and feels like yoga. I love it! I'm hoping all the walking will help with delivery & recovery again. I'm also hoping all the exercise will help slow my weight gain and achieve my weigh gain goal of 30-35 pounds. I gained 45 with Jaycee and 60 with Hadi! Although I did lose it all, I'm hoping to keep it more under control...but then again-if I'm craving a donut---dang it...I'm going to eat a donut!
Last week we had a little scare...kinda. I went to the bathroom Monday and looked in the toilet and my pee looked pink. There was blood in it but I wasn't sure how much. Baby boy was still very active and I'm not having any painful contractions. I didn't want to be too scared but I also knew having blood in this stage is not normal. I thought maybe it was because I was working out too much. I also had horrible cramps! It felt like pms but kinda worst. I even took Tylenol which helped a tad. Nothing else happened the whole day. Tuesday was Jaycee birthday and again very painful cramps. I just thought it might be because baby was growing. But then again there wasn't any more blood. I decided to take the day easy and rest most the day with my feet up. It did help and was fine all day. Wednesday was a busy day with working out, normal day stuff, our final house walk through, meeting with carpet guy to finalize carpet, then to dinner & furniture stores to look at couches. We were in RC Willey about 8pm and physically I was feeling worn out from the day. I went to the bathroom with the girls and again there was blood. It's not a ton of blood but enough that my pee is def pink/reddish. It happened at dinner time as well and again at home. I asked Dr. Google and with the things I was reading and seeing I believed I had a UTI (bladder infection) I was cramping, bleeding in my urine and a few days before I knew I had a slight yeast infection. I wasn't hugely nervous but thought it would still be wise to call my doctor. I was able to drive into Boise and quickly got called back. After testing my urine it was obvious that there was an infection from my white blood cells being so high. Also she found that there was quite a bit of blood in my urine. They were concerned and wanted to make sure my cervix wasn't thinning out. So we waited and got an U/S and verified that indeed my cervix was fine. Baby boy was also fine and very active. The technician said baby boy is very strong and has large feet haha.
A week of antibiotics (they are strange in what they do to me!) and I'm feeling so much better! I'm trying to keep things better cleaned, drinking more water, more yogurt & cranberry juice and seeing that it doesn't come back. I'm so thankful for my girls who were soooo good through the last minute appointment and also that baby boy is still doing fine. The human body is an amazing thing!
